the german grouping Bamberger Symphoniker returns to Spain with Ibermúsica to offer a tour of six concerts under the baton of its chief conductor, Jakub Hrůšain Barcelona (Thursday 19), Tenerife and Las Palmas (Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 as part of the 39th Canary Islands International Music Festival), Madrid (Tuesday 24, Ibermúsica cycle), Alicante (Wednesday 25) and Zaragoza (Thursday 26).

the violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja will accompany you on this tour interpreting the violin concerto of Stravinskywhile on their first date in Barcelona they will share the stage with the Orfeó Catala interpreting the Berliner Messe of Arvo Part. In the rest of the cities they will offer the Leonora III Overture of beethoven and the symphonies 8 and 9 of Dvořák.

The Bamberger Symphoniker is renowned for its characteristic deep, round and dazzling sound. Since its inception it has given almost 7,500 concerts in more than 500 cities and 63 countries, and with the honorary title of Bavarian State Philharmonic Orchestra regularly tours the world as a cultural ambassador for Bavaria and all of Germany.

In 1946, former members of the German Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague joined other musicians who had also been forced to flee their homes by the war and its aftermath. Together they founded the Bamberg Musicians Orchestra, which was renamed the Bamberger Symphoniker shortly thereafter. Its origins stem from the Prague Orchestra of the 19th and 18th centuries, so its roots go back to Mahler and Mozart. Now, under the leadership of Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša since September 2016, a bridge has once again been built between the historic beginnings of the Bamberg Symphony and its present day, more than seven decades after the orchestra’s founding.

Since 2022, it has set itself the goal of acting and traveling in a more climate-friendly way, using means of transport powered by alternative energy sources. For long tours and abroad they try to optimize tour routes and procedures and increasingly stay in a country or place for longer periods, as a resident orchestra or to carry out educational projects with local artists. By financially supporting environmental projects, including at concert venues, the orchestra tries to offset most of the CO2 emissions caused by its travels.
